958 Can your plane fly without American engines?

"Boss, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to go to America?" Chen Jie couldn't understand Yun Fei's eagerness.While waiting to board the plane at the airport, Chen Jie couldn't help but ask about Yun Fei.

Yunfei has in his hand an invitation letter from Bill, an old American company that can't be hardened, inviting him to have dinner. In addition, this is the richest man in China. What Americans like most is that rich Chinese go to their place to spend, and they are happy to It made them feel that the United States is much better than China, so Yunfei's visa was also handled in just three days.

The Chinese capital has long opened a direct flight to San Francisco, USA.

So Yun Fei asked Li Lu to book a flight to the United States that night as soon as he got the visa.

Although the Chinese capital already has a dedicated flight from Beijing to the United States, the time is several hours later than the transfer to Xiangjiang and then to the United States, so Yun Fei directly prepared to transfer from Xiangjiang.

"The people from General Motors let Mr. Jiang sit on the bench..." Yun Fei said coldly.

When Chen Jie heard Yun Fei's words, she frowned immediately: "Don't we have a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars? General Motors hasn't been so strong as to look down on our contract of hundreds of millions of dollars, right? A lot of words" For Chen Jie doesn't know anything about aircraft engines, but she knows that this is only the first order for a large aircraft project, and the follow-up development will have an even bigger market. It is impossible for any company to give up a company with rich market prospects company and industry.

Although GM's annual turnover has tens of billions of dollars in revenue, this is not the reason why they can reject hundreds of millions of dollars in orders from Chinese users.

"Don't you want to raise the price? Maybe it's because Boeing put pressure on them, or maybe they saw Boeing's operating methods. Anyway, we can't produce it now, or we will slowly spend decades on this. The project, or, can only accept their price increase." For Americans, Yunfei is very popular.

But there is no way.

The country's scientific and technological strength is not enough.In addition, the technology has always been blocked by the developed countries headed by the United States. It is definitely not easy to obtain these things.

Perhaps, GM believes that their tf34 is the only aero engine that can be used by Chinese regional airliners, so they are going to use this to blackmail them.

The whole journey was uneventful, and there were no incidents such as hijacking that would allow Yun Fei to give full play to his aura as the protagonist.What's more, although the activities of international terrorist organizations have become more and more rampant in recent years, the most powerful terrorists in the Middle East generally do not come to the East. After all, it is the developed world such as Europe and the United States who have enemies with them.Not China, which is still a developing country.What's more, China doesn't like to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and there is no direct conflict with the demands of those terrorists.

"GM has been ignoring us?" After arriving in San Francisco, Yun Fei didn't even leave the airport, and directly transferred to Fairfield, Connecticut, where General Electric's headquarters is located.

"Jack Welch didn't intend to meet us at all, and sent an ordinary person from the Aviation Affairs Department to receive us. The hotel he arranged was terrible, so we went straight out and found another hotel..." Jiang Jianxing nodded, Said with a wry smile.

This is really too much bullying.

The reason for doing this to them.Just because they are a private unit, if it is a government team, the specifications will definitely be much more advanced.

Both parties have different natures and different pursuits.Negotiations between the two parties will be very difficult.

"What's the reaction from Pratt & Whitney?" Yun Fei didn't ask about General Electric's situation, but directly asked United Technologies' reaction to their procurement delegation.

Of the world's three largest jetliner engine manufacturing companies, the United States accounts for two, and General Electric has the largest market share.The second is Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, which specializes in the design and manufacture of the aviation industry.

The British Rolls-Royce originally belonged to the world's second largest aero engine manufacturer, but most of their engines are for military use.Turn to the civil aviation market and focus on development.It is also a matter of recent years.

Before coming, the design team of the large aircraft project listed three aero engines that are most suitable for their arj21 aircraft. The general-purpose tf34 is the most suitable engine, and it is also the engine that allows them to obtain the American Airlines airworthiness certificate most easily.The second is Pratt & Whitney's pw8000 series of geared turbine engines, which have better performance than the general-purpose tf34. However, the development was only started last year, and it is not known when samples will appear.

The British Rolls-Royce rb211 series engines are much worse than these two engines.

Otherwise, Ma Fengshan's first stop should be Europe instead of the United States.

After all, Rolls-Royce's cooperation with China is longer than that of American companies, and the bass engine is Rolls-Royce's technology.China's earliest aero-engine technology was basically imported from the UK. In the mid-70s, the production technology of military bass engines was introduced. Fifty sets of engines and related patented technologies and design materials cost a total of nearly [-] million pounds!

You know, that was £70 million in the mid-[-]s.

On the Flying Leopard aircraft in the military parade for the 6th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China this year, it is because the turbofan [-] engine project has been discontinued, and the localization process of basses is insufficient. These Flying Leopards all use bass engines that have been in the warehouse for more than ten years!

When it comes to this, people who know the inside story can do nothing but silently feel sad and cry.

This is also the reason why Yunfei, the largest private owner in China, wants to build a large aircraft, and those domestic experts who enjoy special state allowances give up their jobs and join Yunfei, the private owner, to be exploited by him.

Because of China's relationship with Rolls-Royce, it may be easier to import civilian engines from them.

The McDonnell Douglas aircraft produced in China have always used the V2500 engine produced by Rolls-Royce. This is an old-fashioned engine that has basically been eliminated in the European and American markets, but it is still used in the Chinese market.

The arj-21 regional jet, like Yunfei's original world, has been endowed with a sacred mission - a new generation of regional airliner in China in the 21st century!

If you still use an engine that has been eliminated by the market, at least Yunfei can't afford to lose this person.

Although Rolls-Royce's rb211-535 suitable for regional airliners is advanced, its performance is still much worse than the engines of the two American companies.

"They are very welcome, but we have been visiting GM for the past few days. Although there is no high-level reception for us, judging from their reactions, they still attach great importance to our order..." Jiang Jianxing faced the cloud non said.

"Pay attention to the fart and ignore them. Since Pratt & Whitney has expressed goodwill to us, let's go to them first. Doesn't GM want to waste us? Let's waste it with them!" Yun Said nonchalantly.

Anyway, they are all buying engines, which one is not buying?

United Technologies Corporation will definitely be very happy to snatch orders from General Motors, the world's third largest conglomerate.

The only bad thing is that if you buy ready-made engines from United Technologies, you can only buy the jt80d-8 engine used by the McDonnell Douglas md-200 produced in China. This engine has begun to fall behind.

"I think so too, but the representatives sent by other shareholders are more inclined to the GM engine. They are not familiar with United Technologies' engine at all." Jiang Jianxing said with a wry smile.

"We are the absolute controlling shareholder. Their big bosses have no objection to our decision-making. They still want to turn the world upside down? Who is going to make a fuss here, let them go back!" Yun Fei is not Jiang Jianxing, he would guess that those state-run face of the unit.

These guys followed. They were originally a soy sauce party. In China, such things are absolutely inevitable. Yun Fei also turned a blind eye to such things. Let Yun's hold a lot of shares.

If these guys are honestly eating, drinking and having fun in the United States, don't think about getting kickbacks or anything, Yunfei will ignore them, but it is not so easy for them to obtain benefits other than tourism through this project.

Boss Yun couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes.

"If you do that, it will be hard to get along in the future. Although the SASAC and the Shanghai Municipal Government won't say anything, it's hard to guarantee that these guys will go back and add fuel to their jealousy, which will cause their dissatisfaction..." Jiang Jianxing sighed. Do whatever you want.

If possible, Jiang Jianxing hoped that Yun's Holdings would do this project even more.

In this way, although the financial pressure is huge, at least you can do things in a down-to-earth manner, without having to think about how to deal with internal relationships every day. Such a thing is too tiring.It is precisely for this reason that he agreed to serve as the chairman and CEO of the aircraft manufacturing company.

Yun Fei is too idealistic, and his temper is too hot. If his temper is followed, it is very likely that their tens of billions of capital investment will be in vain in the end.

This is what he doesn't want to see.

"Uncle, I know that your management is not easy to manage, and it's difficult to be caught in the middle. We have to have someone who sings the bad face, right? How about this, call everyone together at night, and I will sing the bad face, anyway offend There are a lot of brats, and I’m not afraid to offend a few more people. After I go back, if they gossip, I’ll take care of these things. After all, to them, you are not as important as a legal person like me!” Yun Fei was not afraid of this either. The words made Jiang Jianxing feel uncomfortable.

The relationship between their uncle and nephew was very harmonious.

Jiang Jianxing has two daughters, and Yunfei treats the two younger sisters well, so he doesn't need to think about these things for them at all, otherwise, he would not refuse Yunfei's offer of shares to him.
